With Wynn out of the picture, Chance Sisco and Andrew Susac are left to compete for the backup catcher job behind Caleb Joseph. Mar 18 - 4:49 PM

Austin Wynns went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a tie with the Twins on Saturday.

The backstop took Twins lefty reliever Gabriel Moya deep in the seventh inning, tying the game at 1-1. That's how it would end. The O's put Wynns on the 40-man roster this past November to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, a sign of what they think of him as a potential future contributor. The 27-year-old earned it after batting .281/.377/.419 with Double-A Bowie last year. Feb 24 - 9:42 PM

Orioles purchased the contract of C Austin Wynns from Double-A Bowie.

Wynns, 26, hit .281/.377/.419 with 10 homers for Bowie this past season. He now can't be taken in the Rule 5 Draft. Mon, Nov 20, 2017 07:09:00 PM

Chris Davis (elbow) went 1-for-3 in his return to Grapefruit League action on Sunday.

Davis had been sidelined with a sore elbow which required a cortisone injection last weekend. The O's will continue to take precaution with him over the final week-and-a-half of spring training, but it looks like he should be ready to go for Opening Day.

Mark Trumbo (quadriceps) said Saturday that he's unsure if he'll be ready to return in 3-4 weeks.

Trumbo was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right quad strain on Thursday after feeling discomfort during a recent Grapefruit League contest. The veteran slugger said that he didn't want to set a specific time frame then be disappointed if he wasn't ready in time. It sounds like he may miss the first couple of weeks of the regular season.

Ynoa was seen wearing a boot earlier in the week after an MRI showed a stress reaction in his shins, but it was short-lived. That said, he's still probably headed for the disabled list with only a few weeks left to try to round into form, both with his arm and his legs. Given the state of the Orioles' rotation, though, an opportunity exists for the 24-year-old if he can show something upon his return.

Zach Britton (Achilles) is no longer wearing a protective walking boot on his right foot.

It's not breaking news, as that was the plan for a few days, but it's still a nice step forward, pun very much intended. Britton is still months away from returning after December surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles' tendon. The All-Star break has long been the aim for a possible return to the O's.
